When Mary Vincent married Peter Dally, an Episcopal priest, she
expected to raise their family cradled in the security of a normal
pastoral ministry somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. However, that
all changed in 1980 when the Roman catholic Church announced that
it would ordain married Episcopal priests in a program known as the
Pastoral Provision. One of the first to apply, Father Peter was
ordained a Catholic priest in 1985 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He served
congregations there with Mary beside him until 1998 when he
retired. Mary describes for the reader the challenges the couple
faced in this very dissimilar religious culture, the warmth of the
people of Oklahoma, the humor of their unusual situation, and the
poignant events that make up their days. She tells how she and
Peter coped with his mysterious occasional exclusion as a married
priest, and the isolation and loneliness she experienced as the
wife of a priest. This true story is an exciting and challenging
adventure in living an improbable lifestyle. You're sure to enjoy
this heartwarming personal account.
